Melodious Green



'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
    But being too happy in thine happiness,--
        That thou, light-wingèd Dryad of the trees,
            In some melodious plot
    Of beechen green, and shadows numberless,
        Singest of summer in full-throated ease.

-John Keats (1795-1821),
Ode to a Nightingale
